I have 5 historic Les Pauls. R7, R8, R9 R0 and a B7. They all sound different from each other. Some are brighter sounding than others. Some have more of a "honk" to them. What is unpredictable is which model should be the best sounding. You can't take, say an R8, and claim they sound better because they have a larger neck. Some R8's sound awsome and some sound average. The same applies to each model.

You can't take a particular model a make a claim that one model is generally brighter than another. These type of generalizations really don't exist.
